There are two main forms of cinnamon: cassia and ceylon. Cassia is used in cooking and baking, while ceylon cinnamon is the "true cinnamon" form.

Derived from Cinnamomum verum plant bark, Ceylon Cinnamon has been used since as early as 2800 B.C. and is mentioned in one of the earliest books on Chinese botanical medicine. Current research demonstrates that Ceylon Cinnamon helps maintain normal blood glucose levels.

The history of “True Cinnamon”

Cinnamon has been used since ancient times (as early as 2800 B.C.) to promote optimal health, and it is mentioned in one of the earliest books on Chinese botanical medicine. Most of us know cinnamon as a common spice used in cooking, but it can also have extraordinary health benefi ts. Carlson Ceylon Cinnamon is not your everyday cinnamon, as it is derived from the bark of the plant Cinnamomum zeylanicum - known as the only “true cinnamon.” There are two main forms of cinnamon, cassia and ceylon. Cassia cinnamon is the kind more commonly found in the kitchen which most people are familiar with, but ceylon cinnamon is not as well known. Current research has demonstrated that ceylon cinnamon helps maintain normal blood glucose levels already within a normal range.
